I have to say, this is some banging modern techno. Right up my alley - clean and dirty at the same time!



The rest on the EP aren't as good, but this one's a modern classic.

Thats a pretty nasty kick, good track too. What makes this track dirty to you, it all seems relatively clean to me.

Heard them drop this back in October, absolute ing monster. I do wish we'd drop all this clean/dirty/polished/raw nonsense when talking about techno though.

Distorted 909 or some replicant thereof, no? Also used effectively here:

The kick, I guess. Although it's pretty clean, overall.

Yeah, it's retarded. I said it mostly in jest, alluding to that previous thread.

Thank the Lord. And cheers for posting this actually - it was still unreleased when they played it so I had no idea what it was at the time. Reasonably sure it was the first track they were playing when I came up the stairs from the basement room. I remember turning to my mate and mouthing " me!" in disbelief.

Nice one. I recently heard it on a Charlotte de Witte mix and was similarly blown away. Apparently it's a digital-only release.

Fantabulous!

From what I've seen on FB they do things the opposite way around to many techno labels - digital comes out first and vinyl often follows later.

Yeah, I'm sure it's intentional. Many will be waiting for the 12", I'm sure.

But why? Its a way of describing the aesthetic of audio. Some techno is really polished and squeaky clean, some techno is over produced and compressed, some techno is dirty and grimy.


anyway, proper banger thanks for posting.
